Putin Accidentally Admitted That Russia is Losing (whoops!) - Paul Warburg



It's no secret that Russia's economy is struggling to keep up with the demands of their war against Ukraine. And yet, until now, the Russian government has done all they can to deny this reality. But now even the Kremlin can't hide the economic devastation. Vladimir Putin has admitted that the war is taking a massive toll on Russian society - though perhaps he himself didn't realize it - by promising to lower Russia's military budget even while the country still pursues its full scale war that it has described as an "existential crisis."
